New look DAF XF unveiled

Phantom Mark:
Having looked at the pics it looks like the same bloody dashboard and instruments “again”, I can’t see the magic cup holders all I see is more of the same dash mould with some chinz stuck on it.

Did you ever drive a pre 1995 Saab 95? Sit in one and you wont see the cup holder holder either until you press the symbol on the dash then you will see one of the finest pieces of engineering on any dash you’ve ever seen :wink:

CUP HOLDER!!! That is all.

its has 2 cup holders :smiley: at long last lol
check 2nd vid down interior vid

Its growing on me, just needs a symbol in the middle above the daf wording although I suppose this has been left blank for company livery.

Love the way they make a specific point that the bumper is now made of galvanised steel early on in that article, no more rusty six month old nails! Havent’t read the rest but gid kniw hiw its supposed to be more “Asian”.

Radio is still to low should be higher.

■■? You’ll have to explain that one! Do you mean the radio or the speaker mounted on the A pillar?

There’s a 2.3 min video about the new design here: (plus lots of ice road trucking)

I like it, think the metal strip with the daf logo would look better directly below the windscreen though.

I mean the radio it self not the speakers. The radio is set to low in the dash need to be higher
so you can see it better without take in your eyes of the road.

In your earlier post you said it should be shoulder height? But that comment has mysteriously dissapeared :open_mouth: That’s what I wanted you to explain,how on earth do you mount a radio at shoulder height■■?

Ste Burrow:
Am I the only person who thinks the FH looks ugly.

NO, me too :smiley:

DAF have got rid of the quarter light in the doors.

About blooody time too, pity I just got an old style one :wink:

What i wrote has not been edited in anyway what so ever .You are working to hard you need a rest or you
need to lay of the beer :laughing: :laughing: or go spec savers .

Ewww looks horrible!! Dont like how low the lights are and agree they look like some cheap Chinese truck.

If you have to get up and out of bed to drive it I dont like it. Robot trucks steered from the comfort of your home thats the way forward

I see someone has cross-bred a Leyland Constructor and a Hino and created the new CF…
